JOHN DILLON, SUPPORTED BY THE WAL
COMEDY COMPANY.
LIGHTNING AGENT. !"

John Dillon and his company played
the Lightning Agent at the Funke last
night to one of the best houses of the
season. The play is comedy drama in
FIVE acts, and from first to last abounds
in situations intensely interesting and
broadly comical. Dillon, to be sure, is
more than capable in all his characters,
but the other members of the company
are 80 good as to merit warm approval.
In the Lightning Agent" Dillon is at
his very best, and almost his every ap-
pealance was the signal for hearty
greeting from the audience. -Lincoln

which was written expressly for him, be

acter of Ferret Waugh, the fearless and
saucy little hoydcn, was admirably sus-
tanned by Miss Louise Haven. She gave
remarkably good piece of acting and
won the hearts Of the audience. Miss

the role. Mr. Nalod, as the cool and
calculating william, did some very good
acting. Nj. Heege as the lover and Mr.

good in the presentation of their respect

blessed be the name of the Lord"
The sermon was not noted for elo-
quence or rhetoric, but it was full Of
hope and cheer. He did not. as many
ministers do, preach all round the sub
ject, but right at it, He said the body
lying before them was only the casket
which had contained little Amos, but
that he had left this frail tenement Of
clay, and was now with his parents in
the eternal home where night never
comes. There was no cause for weep
ing. IL was the change of which Job
spake. That which was our loss was
his eternal gain, and yet as selfish NOR
